The decisive moment involves capturing the right<br />
expression and emotion in the subject. Photography<br />
is viewed as an <strong>art</strong> of observation. As a documentary<br />
street photographer, I constantly try to chase the<br />
decisive moment. It is usually p<strong>art</strong> instinct, intuition,<br />
preparation luck, and skill. Decisive moments make<br />
the viewer not only see but feel in their mind<br />
whatever is in the photograph. Sometimes the<br />
mood of the scene can change even in the absence<br />
of colour. Black and white reveals the inter-tonal<br />
relationships within the images. Images in colour<br />
evoke a different appreciation and response from<br />
the viewer. The large-scale photographic montage<br />
concerns memories. It represents many memories<br />
throughout our lives; people who have passed away,<br />
a city view, humorous walks down the street. These<br />
images were taken on the streets of London and<br />
Newcastle over two years (2013 – 2014), through my<br />
eyes, and with my camera recording every moment.<br />
